I took a different tack to this question here:
What is the Point of It All? | Mind-Manual
My conclusion is basically that the question arises out of a certain sort of mindset and if you adopt a different (better, IMO) mindset, it no longer arises. Basically, the upshot is that things don't have inherent meanings, but that those meanings arise in the interaction between things and a consciousness. Life is much the same way, insofar as it is referred to as a "thing" and then any attempts to "find" meaning within the thing are futile because it has none. You (or your consciousness) gives things meanings. If you woke up in the morning and found a thuosand dollars in your bank account, a poor person may be really happy, while a millionaire would be devastated for having become poor instantly. Same stimulus, different meaning and thus different response. Same with life. Adopt a different mindset and the quesiton no longer makes any sense.
